Being a tour guide is one of the most rewarding and
challenging jobs in the world. Tour guides are usually very talented and
interesting people that help you to make the most of your trip. It takes a
certain amount of confidence and passion to be a tour guide and you have rarely
come across one that does not add deep insight and a sense of humor into their
tours. If you have a good ability to communicate with people and you are
interested in history and art, this job is the best job you can have. This year,

The official language of Iran is only one: Persian. As the
names for regions, people, and languages are mostly the same, seven more
languages are recognized as regional languages: Azerbaijani, Kurdish, Lori,
Mazandarani, Gilaki, Baluchi and Arabic.

• Azari is the name of the ancient language of Azerbaijan
which belongs to a branch of the northwestern Iranian language.

• The majority of the Baluch tribe whose language is called
Baluchi, are settled in Baluchistan, in the southern district of Iran, Pakistan,
and some parts of Afghanistan in the southeast.

• Mazandarani and Gilaki languages refer to the people who
live in the north.

• Kurd tribes live in west of Iran, a part of Turkey and
Iraq, and speak Kurdish languages. They come from different religions.

• Lori dialect is between Kurdish and Farsi and is commonly
spoken in western and southwestern parts of Iran.

Engel from Austria said that “while travelling in Iran never
forget to pack with you some basic Iranian words and phrases and enjoy chatting
with local people”.

great feasts based on natural occasions that have been mixed up with happiness and
joy. According to Iranian tradition, the day of Sepandarmazgan was held in the
Great Persian Empire in the 20th century BC.Sepandarmazgan is the celebration day of Love, Friendship
and Earth in ancient Persian culture. Sepandarmaz is Earth Guardian Goddess and
it is the symbol of humbleness, it means modest toward the entire creation.In the feast of Sepandarmazgan, Earth
was worshiped and women venerated. On this day, Women and girls sat on the
throne and men and boys had to obey them and bring them presents and gifts. In
this way, men were reminded to acclaim and respect women. This celebration, which is much
older than Valentine's Day, is on the 5th of Esfand in the Zoroastrian
calendar, and in the new Iranian calendar is on 29thBahman or 18th February.
